Panic in LOndOn-FOreiRn Notes.
PARIS, March 2o-A sensation has been
caused by the publication Of a reported con-
versation between M. Flourens, French min
bter Of foreign affairs, and the correspond
ant of the Novoe Vremys, of ST. Petersburg.
The story Is officially declared to be incor-
rect, but little value is attached to the denial.
According to the published report M.
Flourens said: 81 entered the office with the
full conviction that the key to the European
policy was in st. Petersburg. While Russia
b with us war with Germany is impossible.
Germany, by the chance Of her states dis
uniting, would suffer more than any other
power by defeat; therefore she has no other
course but to live on good terms with Russia
and with us. Russia came forward for us in
moment Of danger, and we will not remain
with folded arms should she be endangered"
M. Flourens professed that he had little fear
Of the new alliance Of Italy, Austria and
Germany, Italy being mainly a naval power,
Germany and Austria could give her nothing
and she would have no interest in taking
part in a war against France. He believed
that the Bulgarians themselves, or the Turk
ish government would expel the regents, and
Russia would have no need to interfere in
Bulgaria The situation there, he thought,
was unwarlike Touching Frances relations
with England, he said no complications were
likely to arise. England would sooner or
later quit Egypt, and she could not dream Of
continental conquests.

MR.. ROOSEVELT RETURNS.
He Talks Entertainingly About European
Matters Generally.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Mr. Theodore
Roosevelt and wife have returned home from
their wedding tour on the Etruria. A few
days after the contest for the mayoralty last
fall, Mr.. Roosevelt sailed for England to
meet his fiancee, Miss Edith Carow, of this
city, to whom he was married in England in
January. They Travelled extensively on the
continent, but spent most of the time in Eng
land. Mr.. Roosevelt is looking as bright and
hearty as if he had just returned from a three
months outing on his Dakota ranch, and re-
ceived a reporter yesterday afternoon at his
home on Madison avenue. The young Re-
publican leader said he was glad to renew
his acquaintance with his friends and
American newspaper reporters, and added
that the representatives of English news
papers had been uniformly kind in their
notices Of his doings, as their American
brethren have always been
"In fact" said Mr.. Roosevelt, ~ was very
handsomely received everywhere in Eng
land, and met all the English political leaders
from the premier down to Healey-men of
all political parties and policies. English
politics is a series of groups, all of which are
divided on one side or the other of the home
rule question. Did meet the grand old manl
whom did not meet.n
"What are the chances for Irish independ-
enceP
"Oh, wouldn't even venture to guess 1
think reaction has set in against the move
ments since the agitation of last year. In
fact, l don't think the Parnellites would be
willing just now to venture their success on
. general election"
"What about the war scarep
"The most remarkable thing l noticed
nbout that was the self-satsfied feeling in
case war should come that was shown on the
part of the French army in comparison with
that Of the civilian population. The mass of
French people outside of the army are really
and truly afraid of war The army, how
ever, was fully equipped, and in the event of
a declaration of war would have gone on the
field with bold 'front.'
Mr.. Roosevelt Congratulated himself upon
his good fortune in escaping the terrors of
the earthquake in the Riviera.

poses one Of the leading delegates said this
morning: "The very announcement in jan
uary that we were going to hold conven-
zion and organize has done much to encour-
age confidence in building operations in all
the large cities. We propose to have bind
ing obligation, and insure against any success
of action against individuals by organiza-
lions Of laboring men. The grading of men,
the demand for a card before work, and pay
ment by the hour, with an optional days.
work of eight, ten or twelve hours, are
lmong the subjects we shall consider"
